HB 813 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

State of Mississippi; not required to recognize unconstitutional executive orders.

HB 813 would prohibit the State of Mississippi from complying with or recognizing any federal government actions (including mandates, orders, or laws) that the state deems to violate the Tenth Amendment's separation of powers between state and federal governments. The bill directly affects Mississippi state agencies and officials by requiring them to reject such federal directives starting July 1, 2026. It bases this on the state's interpretation of federal overreach, without defining specific criteria for what constitutes a violation. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and is not currently law.
